Recipe for Kisses ffound in Ruth Ffs H. E.. C, notebookjz To one piece of dark piazza add a little moonlight: take for granted two people. Press in two strong ones a small, soft hand. Lift lightly two ounces of attrac- tion, one of romance: add a large measure of jolly, stir in a floating ruffle of silenceg dust in a quantity of hesitation, one ounce of resistance, two of yield- ing. Place the kisses on a flushing cheek, or two lips, flavor with a slight scream, and set aside to cool. fThis will succeed in any climate, if directions are carefully followedj Tennyson could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth 325,000 That's genius. John D. can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth 35,000,000 That's capital. The editor of the Scarlet and Black can write a check for 5c and it won't be worth a cent. That's tough. The staff burns the midnight oil to turn out a few pages for you to criticise. That's the Scarlet and Black. You can get to work and hand in a story, a poem, or a joke. That's school spirit. Dainty little Soph. goes tripping Into class, Into class, Thru his mind the lessons slipping, Will he pass? . Will he pass? Will he e'er a Junior be? Junior big? Junior big? Let him one hard lesson see: Learn to dig! Learn to dig!
